Fur Rondy

Today Steve and I ventured downtown to check out Fur Rondy. The outhouse races were taking place when we arrived. We tried to watch, but as you can imagine this was a pretty popular event. It isn't every day you can see outhouses (occupied outhouses at that!) be maneuved through downtown Anchorage! There was an entire collection of Machetanz on display in the Sunshine Plaza that Steve and I enjoyed and we also stopped by a few of the art galleries downtown. Last but not least we attempted to tour the ice sculptures. It was a bit icy near the sculptures though (imagine that!) and the tour was cut short due to driving difficuties. We had a wonderful day and hopefully tomorrow we'll be able to check out the running of the reindeer:) Bundled babies looking at the Fur Rondy carnival

The babies were amazing today, hopefully they will travel this well on our trip to California!
